There is widespread interest in carbon dioxide clusters from a variety of experimental and theoretical perspectives. But in terms of high resolution spectroscopy, the only definitive information concerns (CO_2)_2 and (CO_2)_3. The dimer has a planar slipped parallel geometry with C2h symmetry. Two isomers are known for the trimer: a planar cyclic form with C3h symmetry and a sort of "barrel-shaped" form with C_2 symmetry. Here we analyze two new bands in the CO_2 νb{3} region. The first is a dimer combination band near 2382 wn whose assignment raises interesting questions about the intermolecular vibrations of (CO_2)_2. The second band is a trimer band near 2370 wn which is very similar to one we observed previously near 2364 wn. We assign it to a combination involving another out-of-plane vibration of the cyclic trimer. In addition to these newly assigned bands, we also discuss a number of clear and (mostly) well-resolved bands which apparently must belong to (CO_2)_N clusters with N in the range 6 ˜ 15. Although they cannot be precisely assigned at this time, these bands offer intriguing future prospects for learning more about the structures and vibrational dynamics of CO_2 clusters in a challenging and important size range.
